Be weather aware!!

🌧️ Ponca City Weather Update – Tue. through the Weekend

Ponca City remains in an active weather pattern this week with additional chances for thunderstorms.

⛈️ Tuesday: Strong to severe storms are possible late afternoon into overnight. Main concerns include damaging winds and hail.
⛈️ Wednesday: Additional strong to severe storms are possible late afternoon through the evening, with large hail and damaging winds the primary concerns.
🌦️ Thursday–Saturday: Storm chances continue each day, though not everyone will see rain every day. Rain chances gradually decrease by the weekend.

Because of recent rainfall and the potential for additional rain, the ground is becoming increasingly saturated. This can make it easier for trees to become uprooted, especially if strong winds occur. Please use extra caution around trees, power lines, and low-lying areas.

⚠️ Be Prepared
• Have multiple ways to receive weather warnings.
• Review your severe weather safety plan.
• Secure outdoor items before storms arrive.
• Never drive across flooded roadways.

🔌 Power Outages
If downed trees cause a power outage, report it to Ponca City Energy by calling 580-767-0405 or texting “OUT” to 833-941-4720.

You can also report outages online at:

Please do not call 911 or the Police Department for outage reports unless there is an emergency or immediate danger, such as downed power lines, fire, injury, or a blocked roadway creating a hazard.

The cold weather is still here!! Keep dripping your water and my newest tip is change your HVAC filter today if you haven’t done it within the last month. Your heater is working extra hard to keep your house warm. Do your part to help it out. Clogged filters will stop your heater from working….and this is not the time to wake up to a cold house!

Brrrr….it is going to be cold!! Great tips below!!

Plan Ahead So You Can Be Prepared!

Forecast: COLD!!

The Utility Maintenance Department would like to help residents prevent costly plumbing repairs and damage to their homes. Forecasted extremely cold temperatures and low wind chills can cause significant water issues. Following these tips may help prevent frozen or broken pipes:

*Prevent Frozen Pipes:
If you have experienced frozen pipes in the past, keep a small trickle of water running from the highest faucet in your home. During extremely cold periods, the trickle should be about the size of a pencil point. You will be billed for the water used, but this may help prevent more expensive plumbing repairs caused by burst pipes.

*Disconnect Garden Hoses:
Disconnect and drain all garden hoses. This helps prevent outside faucets and pipes from freezing, leaking, or breaking.

*Seal Out Cold Air:
Close outside vents, crawl spaces, and doors to prevent cold air from entering your home.

*Open Cabinet Doors:
If a sink is located against an outside wall, open cabinet doors overnight to allow warm air to circulate around water pipes.

*If Your Home Will Be Vacant:
If you plan to turn off the heat, drain all water from pipes, toilets, and the water heater. Turn off the power supply to the water heater. If the heater operates on gas, set it to “pilot.”

*Protect Exposed Pipes:
Wrap pipes that are exposed to cold or freezing temperatures with heat tape, available at most hardware stores. Heat tape must remain plugged in throughout the winter.
